SUPERMAN 100-PAGE SUPER-SPECTACULAR #1
written by MARV WOLFMAN
art and cover by CLAUDIO CASTELLINI
“This is the best Superman story I’ve ever written.” So says living legend Marv Wolfman, and when you’ve written hundreds of Superman stories as he has, it means a great deal. This gem of a tale-written and drawn from 2006-2009 for the SUPERMAN CONFIDENTIAL series-explodes from the DC archives as a triumphant tale of Clark Kent’s fateful first days in Metropolis, which were far from easy. His early failures almost ensured there would never be a hero called Superman. Powerful writing and stunning art combine to conjure an inspiring story that needed to be published, one you will never forget, from a pair of master storytellers.

“A year spent traveling the stars changed Jon Kent. Are parents Clark and Lois ready for the all-new, all-different Superboy?”

What did you do DC?

My thoughts exactly. I’m betting that it’ll be that image of an older “teen” Jon Kent that was unveiled a few months ago.
But seriously, a YEAR?! Doesn’t seem like a year in the continuity of things. >_>

It’s quite sad and pathetic that so many tags come with “Superman’s world will change forever !” His world doesn’t have to change forever every month. smh Just when things seemed to be clicking with Superman and family, they drag him and his family back down. (imo only of course)

Yeah it’d be nice to see writers coming on telling good stories with a good character rather than taking the “NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME!”, “EVERYTHING YOU KNOW IS WRONG!” or “THIS ISSUE SOMEONE DIES!” sort of approach.
